Ayumi Hamasaki : [dance/pop]

I'm a big fan of ayumi..not only do i love her songs, i also admire her for her writing (i.e. her lyrics) and her individuality. She is soo creative and artistic in her albums! (e.g. the covers for vogue/far away/seasons --> how the first cover is a piece of the picture for the latter? cool, no?) And she manages to capture the right emotion in each of her songs. After reading an interview on her, i find that ayumi is a very real, honest and down-to-earth person.. which just makes me respect her all the more. Don't you just love her remixes?? :D

    Word from Ayu: Ever since I made my debut single, I've always been doing things I like to do and always trying to be myself.
    It's just now that more people knows the singer "Hamasaki Ayumi," but I don't know them personally. I feel like I'm loosing
    my privacy and some things I used to have. Ayu hasn't change, but the environment had! On the other hand, I'm able to accomplish
    dreams that prove to be impossible for others. I hope the new Ayu after y2k will be more polite and says greetings such as "Konnichwa"
    to people. Also, I want to be the type of person that admire the environment around her. In the past, I always look straight ahead and
    miss the flowers and the views on the surrounding. I hope my new self will be more aware of my surroundings.

  • Fav lyrics:
    Powder Snow
    I want to be left alone.
    I want to escape to a place where no one knows me.
    That I'm wrong about that, that it's my fault,
    is all my heart posesses. I don't need tomorrow.

    Can I cry just because I want to? So my tears wither away.
    The white snow flows and muffles my tears.
    Please help me.

    I don't have even one regret.
    I've been living in the present
    so that I don't leave even a single trace or footprint.
    The candle melts down, this light is extinguished.

    Can I scream at the top of my lungs? So my voice withers away.
    The white snow will forgive me for everything.
    Please.
    I spread my arms wide. I just want to gather the shining snow.
    But why? It's so fleeting.

    Can I cry just because I want to? So my tears wither away.
    The white snow flows and muffles my tears.

    Can I scream at the top of my lungs? So my voice withers away.
    The white snow will forgive me for everything.

    Can I cry just because I want to? So my tears wither away.
    Can I shout loudly? Until my voice withers away.

    Can I cry just because I want to?
    Can I scream at the top of my lungs?
    Until the snow stops.

    Depend on You
    If you go on a trip,
    If that day comes,
    let's start together from there.

    When you thought you'd reach your goal
    did you notice it was really still far away?
    How far should you go?
    What will you do on the endless days?

    You fly on and on. If you're tired
    you can rest your wings, so
    I'll be here.

    If you go on a trip,
    if that day comes,
    let's start together from there.

    Will you try to believe in the light,
    or will you fear the darkness?

    If your ever-flying wings
    can flap no longer,
    I'll heal them.

    There must be someone
    who needs you.
    That person
    is surely always
    smiling by your side.

    You fly on and on. If you're tired
    You can rest your wings, so
    I'll be here.

    If sometime everyone goes on a trip,
    and that day will surely come,
    The more we can throw everything out,
    the tale of two people
    that begins here
    is filled with anxiety and hope.

    Poker Face
    It's always so simple I could cry, but I want to smile.
    I want your love.

    My true form begins to dim little by little.
    As long as I can't get answers from the surging crowd I push aside, I've been searching.
    The better I become at telling lies and excuses, the more I feel afraid in the emptiness.

    It's always so simple I could cry, but I want to smile.
    If I become stronger I'll forget even your kindness, so I want to become docile.
    I want your love.

    People are always solitary beings.
    So I need someone. I want to be suported and I want to be supporting.
    Nothing is certain, but in my heart I still believe.

    If an important thing is found let's protect it to the end.
    If I hit a wall that's too high and get hurt, I should stand up again.
    I don't wish for anything else, just that one is enough.
    I want your love.

    Hana
    For instance, if I quickly ran away now,
    would you search for me by yourself?
    Is it ok to wait while believing
    that people are kind until they are found?

    Becoming an adult,
    or staying an innocent child;
    which one is painful?
    Let's stop asking those questions.
    If you bloom.
    If we live in this city overflowing with people,
    will you listen to me by yourself?
    It continues. It'll never end.
    Will this shout reach anyone?

    While you know that you'll be scattered sometime
    you're loved, only beautifully.
    What kind of bravery do you need
    to grow straight and tall?

    Becoming an adult,
    or staying an innocent child;
    which one is painful?
    Let's stop asking those questions.
    If you bloom.

    While you know that you'll be scattered sometime,
    even if you're stepped on you're still proud.
    What kind of power do you need
    to grow straight and tall?

    Making up for these passing days,
    or having hope tomorrow,
    which one is scary?
    Let's stop asking those questions.
    If you bloom.
